  • 构建多特征融合模型,结合词汇、位置、结构和话语上下文等信息。
  • XGBoost模型达F1 0.9747,引入BERT后提升至0.9782,错误减少34个。
  • 适用于政府会议文本分析,尤其适合需精准识别发言人的场景。

自我介绍在立法委员会听证中常见,准确检测并提取发言者姓名对政府会议中的发言人识别极具帮助。本文提出一种基于机器学习的自介绍检测流水线:从5个州立法会议的154万条语句中构建训练数据集,利用姓名匹配启发式方法生成自动标签,训练决策树、随机森林和XGBoost三种分类器以识别自介绍并提取发言者姓名。特征集融合词袋、位置上下文、结构信号、引导短语指示和话语上下文特征。XGBoost表现最佳,F1达0.9747,错误最少;引入微调BERT的概率特征进一步提升至F1 0.9782,测试错误从241降至207。相较于决策树基线(F1 0.9323),主要提升来自话语上下文特征与集成增强策略,BERT提供适度补充信号。误报分析显示,少数为源数据名称不一致导致的真阳性误标,表明实际性能略高于测量值。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Self-introductions are common in legislative committee testimonies. Successfully detecting them and extracting the speaker's name is enormously helpful in the task of speaker identification in the context of government meetings. In this paper, we present a pipeline for detection of self-introductions in legislative committee testimony using machine learning. We construct a training dataset from 1.54 million utterances spanning five state legislative sessions, apply a name-matching heuristic to generate automatic labels, and train three classifiers: a decision tree, random forest, and XGBoost to find self-introductions and extract the speaker's name. We construct a feature set combining bag-of-words, positional context, structural signals, introductory phrase indicators, and discourse context features. Among the three classifiers, XGBoost achieves the best performance with an F1 score of 0.9747 and the fewest total errors; adding fine-tuned BERT probability features improves this further. As an extension, we score the full candidate dataset with a fine-tuned BERT classifier and add BERT probability outputs as features. This BERT-augmented XGBoost model improves F1 from 0.9747 to 0.9782 and reduces total test errors from 241 to 207. The primary gain over the decision tree baseline (F1 0.9323) is driven by discourse context features and the boosting ensemble strategy; BERT provides a modest complementary signal. Analysis of false positives reveals that a minority are genuine self-introductions mislabeled due to name inconsistencies in the source data, indicating that measured metrics modestly understate true performance.
